Weiser, Attorney General for the State of Colorado, by and through undersigned counsel, alleges as follows: 1 INTRODUCTION 1. Since 2014, CenturyLink has systematically overcharged Colorado consumers for telephone, internet, and television services. 2. CenturyLink falsely advertised “price locks” and fixed prices and then charged more than the advertised price by adding a misleading “Internet Cost Recovery Fee” to customers’ bills. Even though the price was supposedly locked, CenturyLink twice increased the amount of the “Internet Cost Recovery Fee.” Also, CenturyLink relied on a complex promotional pricing scheme that led to frequent misquotes. Finally, CenturyLink failed to provide promised refunds to consumers who returned their equipment at the completion of service. PARTIES 3. Philip J. Weiser is the duly elected Attorney General of the State of Colorado and is authorized under C.R.S. § 6-1-103 to enforce the provisions of the CCPA.
